...unlike Robertson, Joel never followed up a week later by saying, "My zeal, my love of Israel, and my concern for the future safety of your nation led me to make remarks which I can now view in retrospect as inappropriate and insensitive in light of a national grief." Those were Robertson's words in a letter delivered to Sharon's son Omri yesterday evening, Israeli time. The letter, marked for hand delivery yet also posted on Robertson's website, also asked "the forgiveness of the people of Israel" and pleaded that "when I speak, it is always...
...families' grief and rage are hardly surprising. But it is not callous to wonder why?besides simple compassion?this story, like cave-in and child-down-a-well stories in the past, moved America to hold an electronic vigil. Soldiers are killed in Iraq, for instance, every week. They are no less brave, and their families grieve no less.

Finally, they settled on excitement and tremendous gratitude when Harvard graciously extended the offer to accept a number of displaced students for the fall semester...
...film has a literary punch rarely seen in Hollywood films. The dialogue is limited but pointed, and the script is more interested in calling up powerful symbols (the men’s shirts, Ennis’s mailbox) rather than unwieldy monologues to dramatize the characters’ grief. McMurtry and Ossana made the smart decision to give incredible freedom to Lee and his actors. More is said on Anne Hathaway’s face in her last scene than the sum of all the film’s naturalistic and appropriately sparse dialogue. Its lazy passage of time illuminates...
